Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

Laura also felt surprised to see Max here.

Zoe noticed her expression had changed, so she asked in a low voice, “Do you know him?”

Laura nodded. It’s not easy to tell from her face how she felt.

When Zoe saw this, she didn’t think much of it. After all, they were both in the entertainment circle. Maybe they had happened to know each other before.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Max soon saw them, and immediately felt seeing his savior. He quickly pushed away the crowd and rushed to them.

“Zoe!”

Zoe’s expression changed. She tugged Laura’s arm, and then whispered, “Go! Hurry up!”

They quickened their pace. However, they were wearing high heels, so how could they be as fast as Max?

Soon, they were caught by Max.

Max gasped, “What’s wrong with you two? Haven’t you heard me calling you? Why did you run faster and faster?”

Zoe and Laura both turned around and both managed a weak smile.

“Mr. Nixon, what’s the matter?”

Max was stunned. He rolled his eyes at them unhappily.

“What do you mean? We are friends. But you didn’t greet me after seeing me there. Do you deliberately avoid me?”

Zoe thought in her heart that if they didn’t go away, trouble would come to them.

Sure enough, that group of women came after them.

“Hey, Mr. Nixon, who are they? Why don’t you introduce us?”

The woman who spoke was wearing a purple dress with a large hole in her waist, showing her shapely curves.

The hollow in front of her seemed to be more than enough to fit them in. She was so buxom that even Zoe and Laura blushed when seeing her moving forward.

“Oh, she is…”

When Max was about to introduce them, Zoe glared at him, so he immediately changed his expression.

“These two are my friends, Zoe and Laura. You guys can get to know each other!”

That woman held her arms and looked them up

and down.

She was still on guard against them and they somehow felt a hint of despise in her eyes.

“So, you’re Laura? Well, I’ve heard of your name. But you…”

After sizing Laura up, she said with a hint of mockery, “Are you a new actress?”

Laura nodded politely and extended her hand towards her, “Hello, Molly. I’m Luara. Hope to get well along with you in the future.”

Only then did Zoe realize that the woman in front of her was Molly.

It was indeed a shame. She should have known the actors and actresses in the entertainment circle since she was a PR.

It’s just that her energy was limited. The new actors in this circle were springing up almost without a pause, which made her unable to remember each of them at all.

Even so, she had heard of Molly but she hadn’t seen her in person before.

She was quite famous in this circle and was almost a top-line artist.

She had starred in many dramas and her acting was not bad. It’s just that she didn’t have any well-known works.

She was very resourceful, but maybe it’s because of her bad luck that she had never got the chance to star in a good drama.

Someone beside them immediately spoke.

“Huh? Is it you who won the supporting role in Sound of Wind? Molly, did you forget it?”

The person who said this was called Rayna, also an actress.

However, she was not even nearly as famous as Molly, so she just liked to make friends with artists who were more famous than herself.

At this moment, she bumped Molly’s arm and winked at her. Her implication was obvious.

Sure enough, when Molly heard what Rayna said, she put on a sullen look.

“So, it’s you?”

Laura raised her eyebrows, “You know me?”

“Heh!” Molly sneered, “What do you think you are? Are you even worthy of my acquaintance?”

Laura, “…”

Zoe, “…”

Max, “…”

In this circle, it was not uncommon for two artists to fight against each other, either under or above the table.

But there was also an unwritten rule. That was you could not insult people to their face.

Even if you hated each other in secret, you still had to be polite and even pretended to get along well with each other in front of the media.

But unexpectedly, today Molly offended Laura openly.

Laura fell into embarrassment for a moment.

Zoe put on a sullen look. She always held the principle of not causing trouble, and not being afraid of trouble. So, she said coldly, “Yes, she is not worthy of your acquaintance. But it’s a pity that the people you want to know also don’t pay much attention to you. Just why do you think so highly of yourself?”

Molly didn’t expect someone dared to retort.

Instantly, she was furious.

“And who do you think you are? You dare to talk to me like that…”

Max was very unhappy to hear that, and his eyebrows knitted.

He immediately interrupted her, “Molly!”

Anger was obvious in his tone. And then Molly found Max was talking to her.

Looking at him, her face paled visibly, “Mr. Nixon.”

“Do you know where you are? What do you think you are to make a scene here?”

Hearing his words, Molly tightened her heart.

She was so impulsive just now, thinking the role she had been trying to get for so long had been gotten by an unknown new actress.

She didn’t hold back her anger and said these to ridicule Laura.

However, she forgot that Max was still beside her.

She hurriedly lowered her head and said in a low voice, “Sorry, Mr. Nixon, I didn’t mean to.”

Max also didn’t want to tangle with this group of women here. He originally wanted to find an excuse to go away when he moved forward to stop Zoe and Laura just now.

So, he said coldly, “If you dare to do this again, you don’t need to attend this kind of activity in the future.”

After saying that, he said to Zoe and Laura, “Go. Let’s go over there.”

As she saw them leave, Molly was so angry that her fingertips were even trembling.

Behind her, Rayna came forward and whispered, “Molly, what is the relationship between Laura and Mr. Nixon? I think he was defending her.”

Another woman said, “What kind of relationship can they have? In this circle, how can she get that important role if she didn’t have any support? I think, she probably has seduced Mr. Nixon. I found Mr. Nixon treats her differently.”

“No way! How could Mr. Nixon like her? Doesn’t she come from some village?”

“Exactly. That’s also why she can go ahead regardless of everything!”

“It seemed that Cinderella couldn’t become a princess at all. Laura must have made some shady tricks.”

“That’s enough!”

Molly finally couldn’t hold back and shouted out.

The crowd immediately stopped talking.

Although Molly herself was only slightly better than those second-tier actresses, among this group, she was the big shot.

She stared in the direction that the three left just now, and gritted her teeth, “She is just a new actress. She must think she can have a meteoric rise after seducing Mr. Nixon. It’s ridiculous!”

“Molly, she even dares to contradict you like this today. Don’t you want to give her a lesson?”

“Yes. How can we let this continue? She’s just a newbie! Does she even know how to respect?”
